The update discontinued support for external graphics processors in 2015 or older Macs, equipped with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 ports. The 10.13.4 update added support for external graphics processors for Macs equipped with Thunderbolt 3 ports. The ability to lock screen using a menu bar shortcut activated in Keychain Access preferences has now been removed. The screen can now be locked using the shortcut Cmd+Ctrl+Q. Ĭaching Server, File Sharing Server, and Time Machine Server, features that were previously part of macOS Server, are now provided as part of the OS. The FTP and telnet command line programs were removed. The time service ntpd was replaced with timed for the time synchronization. The Low Battery notification and its icon were replaced by a flatter modern look. Kernel extensions ("kexts") will require explicit approval by the user before being able to run.

HEVC hardware acceleration requires a Mac with a sixth-generation Intel processor or newer (late 2015 27-inch iMac, mid 2017 21.5-inch iMac, early 2016 MacBook, late 2016 MacBook Pro or iMac Pro). In addition, audio codecs FLAC and Opus are also supported, but not in iTunes. However, whenever an Intel IGP is present, the frameworks will only direct requests to Intel IGP.

Macs with the Intel Kaby Lake processor offer hardware support for Main 10 profile 10-bit hardware decoding, those with the Intel Skylake processor support Main profile 8-bit hardware decoding, and those with AMD Radeon 400 series graphics also support full HEVC decoding. MacOS High Sierra adds support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), with hardware acceleration where available, as well as support for High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF). The system's windowing system, Quartz Compositor, supports Metal 2. It includes virtual-reality and machine-learning features, as well as support for external GPUs. Metal, Apple's low-level graphics API, has been updated to Metal 2. It also has built‑in encryption, crash‑safe protections, and simplified data backup on the go. It supports 64‑bit inode numbers, is designed for flash memory, and is designed to speed up common tasks like duplicating a file and finding the size of a folder's contents. Changes System Apple File System Īpple File System (APFS) replaces HFS Plus as the default file system in macOS for the first time with High Sierra.

This requires using a patch to modify the install image. It is possible to install High Sierra on many older Macintosh computers that are not officially supported by Apple. MacOS High Sierra requires at least 2 GB of RAM and 14.3 GB of available disk space.
MacOS High Sierra is supported on the following Macintosh computers: 2.2.8 Other applications found on macOS 10.13 High Sierra.Hold down the Option key while clicking on a process in App Tamer in order to get a Priority slider alongside App Tamer’s normal slow/stop options. It’s not nearly as effective of a way to control CPU usage as App Tamer’s methods, but can be useful in some circumstances.
We haven’t seen any negative effects from the Time Machine acceleration, but there may be instances where it burns your laptop battery faster.Īpp Tamer 2.3.3 also lets you change the priority of processes – the equivalent of the unix renice command. It could cause those processes to consume more battery power, for instance, than they would otherwise – so keep an eye out if you turn this option on. This may not be what you want in some instances. Because it prevents macOS from throttling processes that have low I/O priority, it can potentially cause other processes that are supposed to be slowly doing disk or network I/O in the background to run faster. There are some caveats about this method, however. App Tamer now offers a checkbox in the prefs to take care of this for you, and will re-apply the setting whenever it’s running. Mac Kung Fu published an article last year detailing a geeky way to speed Time Machine up, but it requires a Terminal command and only stays in force until the next time you reboot your Mac. This keeps it from interfering with anything else on your machine, but means that it copies data very slowly. Time Machine is normally set up with a very low I/O priority, which means that macOS puts it at the back of the queue for disk access. It adds a checkbox that speeds up Time Machine backups, something that’s really helpful if you only plug in your backup drive occasionally, resulting in Time Machine needing to copy lots of data.
